Now that
CryBlend has provided a feature where everyone can convert their own textures
into .DDS files, there is one thing that is missing….

Based on
CryBlend’s statement, you have to use the old CRYENGINE RC file 3.4.5., in
order to convert texture files into .DDS. files, easily, instead of using the
latest CRYENGINE EAAS RC.

Luckily, I
still have this file for everyone to download, in case you do not want to
download any third party links that contain unwanted cookies, adware, etc, or
want to save time instead of searching in limbo.

Here are my
download links for a clean version of the CRYENGINE RC 3.4.5. via Dropbox,
Google Drive, and OneDrive:

I developed a new CRYENGINE mini-game that should be ready to play within the next few weeks. The title is called, "Lockdown," based on my soundtrack. This is only a preview of what is yet to come.

You play as a lone, volunteered missionary who happened to be captured by the treacherous evil
General Zaragas and his notorious rebels who vowed for world domination. When the lone missionary had been captured, a spirit conscious provided him an incentive to fight against General Zaragas forces. It's up to you to help the lone missionary to take down General Zaragas's forces and escape his labyrinth, no matter what it takes.

This is a prologue to my other CRYENGINE level, "Valley Run."

"Lockdown" is developed using the CRYENGINE 3.6.14 (build 3139), under the CRYENGINE EAAS license. Sounds are from freesounds.org and audiojungle, modified by me, and
generated using Wwise.

The mini-game beta will be free-to-play.

Disclaimer: Please note that the mini-game is still being develop and in-progress, due to sound
adjustments. I will add more sounds to most of the weaponry in this mini-game and keep you posted. This is only part one of the video. Part two will be coming up, when ready.

As you noticed, I am no longer using Crytek's stock sounds. I will be using my own sounds that I've modified and generated.

I want to thank Crytek for fixing the Heavy Machine Gun setup.

Video recorded via Fraps.

"Lockdown" is a Galatra Games Productions, 2015.

Hello everyone,I just want to let everybody know that I am currently working on my latest CRYENGINE mini-game, "Lockdown," which will soon be free-to-play. I'm currently taking a break from developing 30 Floors, until CryBlend updates to CryBlend 5.0 very soon.This mini-game is currently developed using the CRYENGINE EAAS build 3.6.14. Sounds will be generated using the Wwise Audio Engine. The level creation is made with CryDesigner alone, a DCC tool within the CRYENGINE itself.Once it is finished, the mini-game will be available for everyone to beta test and play with.Below are my preview screenshots of my game:

While taking a break from 30 Floors, I made another simple mini-game called “Valley Run” using CRYENGINE EAAS 3.6.9 (Build 2997). This mini-game only demonstrates my use with terrain generating tools, such as World Machine, and Trackview camera sequences for educational use. It is not meant to be serious, but just fun enough how extraordinary it is to work with CRYENGINE.

Some of the assets that I’ve created, such as the Crate boxes, are made with Blender 2.71 using the CryBlend 4.13 plug-in. However, the rest of the assets are still created by Crytek, purchased with the monthly EAAS license.

I’m still working on my current level, 30 Floors, which will be updated and posted soon.

Now that I subscribed to Crytek's EAAS (CRYENGINE-AS-A-SERVICE), I am now creating a new game that is currently in development and work-in-progress. It is called 30 Floors. I posted a Youtube video to see my latest progress.PC that I am developing with is the ASUS ROG G750JW (Repubic of Gamers) gaming laptop, powered with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765m and Intel i7 4700-HQ, 1 TB hard drive, 8GB RAM.AI is programmed using CRYENIGINE's flowgraph system.Music is composed by me, created using Arturia Spark Dubstep, recorded by Audacity.Building models are built by using Blender 2.71 with CryBlend plug-in feature and CryDesigner.Gameplay is subject to change during final release.Subscribe to my Youtube channel for latest game development updates.
